Scottsdale Omnia 1 oz Silver Round

Spanish minted cob coins were widely circulated throughout the 16th-18th centuries and are remembered for their crude, hand-struck and hand-trimmed production style. They were the original gold and silver rounds and were referred to by many (most famously pirates) as "pieces of eight" or "doubloons". The Omnia 1-oz silver bullion round is our tribute to the classic design.

Instead of being hand-struck like the originals, each Scottsdale Silver Omnia round is precision struck and features the iconic Scottsdale lion on the front face and a cob-era cross on the reverse. 

The Latin phrase on the back translates to "Prepared for all things."
